What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe in “I do, we do, you do.” I will demonstrate or explain first about the lesson. During the lesson, I will ask you a series of questions for assessing your understanding of the material. We will practice the problems together emphasizing how you would solve and improve on the mistakes. Then you will demonstrate on your own how to solve the problem with guidance after you have attempted the problem.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

I will assess where you are mathematically to know where the next few sessions will go.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I will get to know what you enjoy, your goals, and your learning style. I will also observe how you respond to my first lesson as well as my teaching style, how I would like to teach you for further sessions, and what works well for your learning style to deliver the lesson.

公司如何ld you help a student stay motivated?

I emphasize the importance of education with maintaining a certain lifestyle, including college expectations and real world scenarios.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

I would have the student take time before the next lesson to practice through another available resource. By the next session, I will quiz the student upon his/her ability to perform the skill. If the student still struggles, I will approach the skill in a different manner such as using hands-on manipulatives or perhaps with a song or video to underline learning the basic skills.

How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?

I break the sentences up and highlight the important key words to help solve the problem.

Quizzes, technology manipulations or online games and then monitor their progress, informal quizzes such as questions on the spot, review of the lesson at the end of the session.

Research on my own accord the different resources available to students, and create an activity or notes to peak their interest in the subject matter.

My laptop, paper, pencil, different books I have collected geared to studying math outside textbooks, online resources, and cell phone apps.
